Ruth Fielding

The Ruth Fielding books were an early Stratemeyer Syndicate series, published between 1913 and 1934 under the pseudonym Alice B. Emerson. Ruth Fielding begins the series as an orphan who comes to live with her miserly uncle and, in later titles, goes from boarding school to college and on into adulthood. Unusually for a main character in a Stratemeyer Syndicate series, Ruth Fielding marries.[1]

Ghostwriters

Edward Stratemeyer created the series and wrote plot outlines, but the books themselves were written by a number of ghostwriters. Three authors wrote the series under the pseudonym of Alice B. Emerson: W. Bert Foster wrote titles 1 through 19; Elizabeth M. Duffield Ward wrote titles 20 through 22; and Mildred A. Wirt Benson wrote titles 23 through 30.[2]

gollark: What has he done *now*?
gollark: Or any nonsense like the projectile not instantly accelerating, rotation, the projectile not being a particle, or the varying gravity at each height.
gollark: This is true, yes. I did not consider relativistic corrections.
gollark: I've worked out approximately how to do it anyway, it should be about 10 minutes to work out a general formula or something ignoring air resistance.
